Fig. 4

Time spent by males of the spider Paratrechalea ornata in pedipalp insertions into the female epigyne (genital opening) according to the total duration of the mating interaction. White dots represent males exposed to females in POOR condition and black dots represent males exposed to females in GOOD condition. Lines indicate the tendency predicted for males exposed to each experimental group: dashed = females in POOR condition; solid = females in GOOD condition. The shaded area indicates the 95 % confidence interval
